🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at NRG Stadium (Houston):

Do not join the massive queue at the Yellow Lot. Take the METRORail Red Line just 2 stops away to either Fannin South or the TMC station area first. Booking your Uber from outside the NRG park zone completely bypasses stadium surge fees.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Gate 2 on the Yellow Lot is the designated rideshare pickup and drop-off loop.
